[127] Caroline was much amused with Lady Harr- [128] iet. She had never before seen anything like her; and though led by the previous conversation to look for a character widely differing from the rational generality, she was by no means prepared for that diverting breadth of singularity which she now witnessed in the little flighty “minauderies”<\/i> of this very original lady. Her surprise and amusement were still increased, when, on being introduced to Lady Harriet, she shook her warmly by both hands, saying, “I think I shall like you—if I don't I'll tell you—you will like me, I know—new people always do.” She then began to talk to her with great seeming interest, and asked her in the course of conversation, (probably with a view of sounding her capacity,) a multitude of very uncommon and unconnected questions; “Whether she believed in craniology?” “Whether she could improvvisare<\/i> in Italian?” “Whether she had studied the theory of apparitions?” “Whether she considered music to be "the food of love?"” “What perfume she [129] was most partial to?” and, “What was her opinion of Mr. Perkins's new invented steam engine?”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
